As we reach for our sweaters today I remember a sunny afternoon in Washington this summer.  We were invited to visit a friends' homestead full of different varieties of goats and fowl and flowers.  You should never turn down an offer like that.  Though life has taken us on and off the farm over the years my heart remains on a homestead.  I wish I could show you all the creative touches around every corner. 

No surprise here – I was hanging out with the goats.  Meantime the girls were so very excited to see horses again.
